Backward Compatibility

• All MVI56E products are backward-compatible with earlier MVI56 modules allowing direct replacement without the need to change existing controller programs

10,000 Word Database

• Allows you to gather more data from your devices, which improves operational performance
• Enjoy Enhanced features and flexibility without incurring expensive reprogramming costs

Add-On Instruction

• Module configuration stored within the RSLogix™ 5000 project (ACD file)
• No additional programming or configuration software is required
• Add-On Instruction for RSLogix 5000 version 16 or higher cuts development time and costs

CIPconnect® Enabled

• Facilitates remote user access across the ControlLogix backplane through Rockwell Automation’s 1756-ENBT module
• Configure, diagnose, and analyze process data and communications status
• Bridge through multiple ENBT/CNBT links to connect to MVI56E-MCMs installed in remote chassis for configuration and diagnostics

Add-On Profile

• Simplifies adding the module in an RSLogix 5000 project

Command List

Up to 325 commands per Master port, each fully configurable for function code, slave address, register to/from addressing and word/bit count.

Optimized Polling

Configuration options allow Master ports and commands to be optimized to poll slaves with communication problems less frequently.

Command Status/Error Monitoring

Command Status or Error codes are generated for each command as it executes, allowing careful monitoring o fcommunication health between the Master and its Slaves.

Slave Polling Control

Master Port maintains a Slave Status list of all network Slaves. Polling of each Slave may be disabled and enabled using this list.

Full Memory Access

A port configured as a Modbus Slave permits a remote Master to read from or write to any of the 5000 registers that make up the user memory database.

Multi-source Slave data

Data presented at the Slave port can be derived from other Modbus Slave devices on a different network through the module's Master port or from the processor tag database.

Node address

1 to 247 (software selectable)

Status Data

Slave port error codes, counters and statuses are available separately for each port when configured as a Slave
